The '''Akazu''' was an informal group of [[Hutu Power]] adherents who participated in and planned the [[Rwandan Genocide]]. Many of the members were friends or relatives of [[Juvénal Habyarimana]] or [[Agathe Habyarimana|his wife]] and belonged to the ruling [[MRND]] party. They were often referred to as the Zero Network because they wanted a Rwanda with zero Tutsis.

==History==

The Akazu were relatives of Habyarimana's and others he knew from his Northern Rwanda district; they held important appointed positions of authority in the Hutu regime. The Akazu did not wish to share government with the Tutsis (particularly [[Paul Kagame]]'s rebels) or moderate Hutus. They contributed to the development of Hutu Power ideology and fanned resentment against the Tutsi during the early 1990's following the outbreak of the [[Civil War|civil war]].
